A 50-year-old man questioned by police investigating criminality linked to the freedom of information data breach has been released.
He had been detained under the Terrorism Act in Dungiven, Co Derry on Wednesday.
His arrest is understood to have been related to the names and details of police officers and staff in Northern Ireland being published online in August 2023.
The information had been released in error by police as they responded to a freedom of information (FoI) request.
